The miracle finally happened. The New York Yankees scored a grand slam against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series, thanks to Anthony Volpe in the bottom of the 3rd inning. His hit gave the Yankees renewed hope to stay alive and avoid elimination.
Judge was on third base, Chisholm Jr. on second, and Giancarlo Stanton on first, all waiting for Rizzo to make a play to tie the game, which was 2-1 at that point. But it was shortstop Anthony Volpe who delivered, giving the Yankees their first run of Game 4, then adding four more with his grand slam.
After the game, several New York Yankees players shared words of respect for Anthony Volpe and his huge home run vs Dodgers that put the team ahead. Among them was Austin Wells, who emphasized how important Volpe’s hit was and how it lifted the team’s spirits, taking a weight off their shoulders.
It’s worth noting that Game 4 has been Volpe’s most productive performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Before his grand slam, he had only managed one hit in Game 3 and had struck out seven times up to that point.
How Long Has Volpe Been Playing with the Yankees?
Volpe has been with the Yankees since 2023, when he made 150 starts in his rookie season. This is his first postseason with the Bronx Bombers, and he hasn’t missed a single game since the playoff run began on October 5 against the Royals.
